This editorial examines systemic barriers, including limited intellectual property education, funding, and a focus on traditional careers, that hinder innovation. Highlighting the transformative role of patents, it proposes solutions like IP education, R&amp;D centers, mentorship, and financial support. A collective call to action urges stakeholders to foster a culture of creativity and patenting, advancing Pakistan’s role in global dental science.</p> Prof.Dr.Naseer Ahmed Copyright (c) 2024 ALTAMASH JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY AND MEDICINE https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 https://ajdm.altamash.edu.pk/index.php/ojs3/article/view/72 Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 -0600
